Rainbow Sensory Bin For Learning Colors

One of the ways we really learn colors is through seeing them. This Rainbow Sensory Bin helps kiddos learn different colors through exploration and play. Here are some ways you can encourage color recognition:

  • Sort items by color.
  • Choose a color of the day and find only that color.
  • Have students match colored items from the bin to note cards with color words on them.

Why Use a Sensory Bin?

Sensory bins, bags, bottles are very easy and inexpensive to make. They are a simple way to incorporate sensory learning and play into your home, vehicle, or classroom. They allow children a chance to explore, imagine, create, discover, and learn while using many of their senses. Not only are children learning by playing in a sensory bin, but they are much more engaging to children than even toys. Additionally, sensory bins offer children the following:
